A good song made weary by overfamiliarity. The Libertines played it once at an anti-racism benefit, with Mick Jones singing, and instead of being excited all I thought was - couldn't they have picked a different Clash song?

but major Smiths fans often get annoyed at the fact that "This Charming Man" is the only Smiths song you'll hear in most indie clubs. To the extent that I think National Pop League in Glasgow actually has an embargo on it.
